    not running right(popping from exhaust)

    Finally got my car started back up after its been sitting for like 6 months. It started up great but there is a pretty loud popping coming from the exhaust. I'm trying to get my car smogged out here in CA so I had to put all the emissions stuff back on. I put a new egr valve back on, smog...

    engine oil viscosity

    I know, I was just joking about it blowing up. It seems like there are both sides to it. Some people say it causes leak and others have switched with no issues. So who knows..

    engine oil viscosity

    I'm pretty sure that the whole can't switch to synthetic after a certain amount of miles is a myth. I'm switching my daily driver(96k) and my fiances vehicle(112k) to synthetic just because I'm lazy and can go longer without oil changes. If they both blow up i'll let you know.. lol I was at...

    engine oil viscosity

    I've been running 10-30w mobil 1 synthetic in my mustang since I've owned it but I'm wondering what does everyone else run? My chilton books says engine oil viscosity depends on operating temperature range. Well I live in the Sacramento, CA area and in the summers we reach temps of ~100-110 F...

    Opinions on what to do with my daily driver...

    i'd have to agree about keeping the car you have. Its much easier and cheaper to fix the issues that the car has. Like others have suggested, dont sink any more money into than you have to. Its a beater... who cares about body lines. It has 4 tires, a steering wheel and gets you front point A to...

    Anyone running 315's out the back? What do u run on the front? Tailpipes?

    I haven't noticed any issues with handling. I run a magnaflow catback and my 315's dont rub at all, I did remove my quad shocks and had to massage the inner fender. I don't really have any serious mods so traction is never really any issue lol. I also run the sumitomo tires, you really cant beat...

    Are Pony Cars Getting TOO Big?

    Cooling system woes.....

    have you done a pressure check on the system? This could help you find a leak. FYI... I have never bled my coolant system and never had any problems.

    installed stewart wp(pulley problems)

    I emailed stewart and they said they do not recommend using underdrive pullies on their water pump. I might try using water pump shims that I found @ summit racing but if anyone has a stock water pump pulley available, please PM me. thanks

    installed stewart wp(pulley problems)

    I thought it was supposed to be the stock dimensions as well, thats why I went with it. If I had known I would have pulley interference issues I would have went with a ford racing pump. The stewart pump looks exactly like the stock unit that I have, the box says 94-95. I don't know how to tell...

    Clearance?

    i also run 17x9, 17x10.5... the fronts are 275 and rear 315. I used to have an issue with rubbing at full lock in the front but that was fixed when I installed 03 cobra arms. In the rear I removed the quad shocks and massaged the inner fender well.

    jb weld - work on smog tube from heads?

    While I was putting the smog stuff back onto my car, I noticed that the smog tube coming from back of the heads has a crack and small pinhole. I was thinking I could use JB weld but I'm not sure if it would hold up to the temp?? Any other suggestions for fixing the tube? I'd prefer not to have...

    idler pulley play

    how big should the idler pulley be? maybe they sent me the wrong one.... the pulley I have, measured 3.75" across it. I wish I had kept my old one but I tossed it before I realized there was an issue. I just checked the wazee pulley site and it says his pulleys have an outside diameter of 3.46".
